Spire Owner Responds to Denny Hamlin's 'Unserious Organization' Comments

Jeff Dickerson said Spire addresses Carson Hocevar internally and will not change his aggressive driving style amid the federal lawsuit with Joe Gibbs Racing.

  • On his Actions Detrimental podcast, driver Denny Hamlin criticized Spire Motorsports for handling Carson Hocevar, calling the organization "unserious" following an on-track incident at Darlington Raceway.
  • During the September 6 Cook Out Southern 500, Hocevar's Chevrolet made repeated contact with Keselowski's Ford, sending the 2012 Cup champion into the wall. Keselowski later warned that Hocevar's "day's coming, and it's coming hard."
  • Spire Motorsports co-owner Jeff Dickerson defended his team's management, stating Spire discusses Hocevar's actions internally weekly but does not issue public statements after every conversation.
  • Addressing Hamlin's comments on the GluckCast, Dickerson took the critique as a warning and invoked the ongoing federal lawsuit against JGR, Spire, and Chris Gabehart, stating "We're serious enough to sue."
  • A nine-day jury trial regarding trade secrets allegations is scheduled for February 1, 2027, in the Western District of North Carolina, as the NASCAR feud now involves driver conduct, team management, and the pending legal case.
